Neymar ruled out of PSG's clash with Leipzig through injury

Neymar has been ruled out of Paris Saint Germain's clash with RB Leipzig after picking up an injury while away on international duty with Brazil.

PSG had to make do without Neymar in their last Ligue 1 outing against Angers on Friday, which fell on the same day he was in World Cup qualifying action for his country against Uruguay.

Supporters would have hoped to see him return in time for a Champions League group stage encounter against Leipzig on Tuesday night, but the French giants have now revealed that he has returned to Parc des Princes nursing a minor knock.

PSG have confirmed Neymar's continued absence in an official statement on their website, which reads: "Neymar Jr has been suffering from adductor pain since his return from the national team and will have to extend a period of treatment for a few days before a normal return to the group."

The Ligue 1 leaders have also revealed that Argentina international Leandro Paredes will be missing due to a quadriceps issue, while Sergio Ramos is close to returning to training after sitting out the start of the season with a calf problem.
